Game 17: Vikings @ Lions *Sunday Night* Thread

[JScottWriter]

Dumb challenge because it stops the clock also. At least we won it. Then a fumble recovery.

 

[JScottWriter]

Damn it never mind on the recovery.

 

[gotime909]

But if he's in the end zone it would be a td. The nfl will never figure out what a catch is

 

[manchild98]

I can't believe the only have 9 points.

 

[manchild98]

Don't get anyone else hurt.

 

[manchild98]

That looked like a pulled hammy for Big Z.

 

[gotime909]

That's awesome that they got Jamo his 1000 yards

 

[biggunsbob]

I think Jamo gets 1000 yards.

 

[biggunsbob]

That looked like a pulled hammy for Big Z.

Team just can’t escape injuries.

 

[manchild98]

Dan Campbell said, I'll see you in two weeks.

 

[biggunsbob]

15-2 NFC North Champs ! Back to back seasons !
Most wins in team history.

I know who gets a game ball !
Mr Glenn !
Mr. Gibbs !
And AA ! He was all over the field.
Maybe Robertson ! He played great.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Do we call what the Vikings did on the last possession the surrender formation? Or the fuck it formation?

 

[biggunsbob]

Largest margin over the Vikings since 1997. I think that is what I saw.
22 points.

 

[manchild98]

Minnesota really has to be shell-shocked. Only scored 9 points, 3 in the 2nd half. Everything on the line and they didn't have any answers.

 

[biggunsbob]

Two years ago we needed the Rams to beat the Seahawks to make the playoffs. Now we are #1 seed in the NFC.

Last meaningless regular season game we played we were 8-8 and had nothing to play for after the refs gave that game to the Seahawks.
They ended Aaron’s run in Green Bay finished 9-8

Dan’s 4 seasons in The D.
2024 : 15-2 Division Champs #1 seed in NFC.
2023: 12-5 Division Champs .Runners up NFC sadly. (2-1) playoffs
2022: 9-8 2nd in North.
2021 3-13-1 last in the North.
==================
39-28-1 for Detroit
5-7 in Miami
=================
44-35-1 over all. They are 2-1 in the playoffs.

Jared Goff got emotional talking about Dan Campbell after the win: 'He's breathed life into me from the moment I got here.'


Dan Campbell’s postgame locker room speech was ELECTRIC after the Lions clinched the division and No. 1 seed. “You guys look like you remember who the #%&$ you are.”


Dan Campbell let out a big exhale entering his postgame press conference. He said the Lions 15-2 season, division title, and No. 1 seed happened because of the four years of tests they’ve endured.

The Lions continue to out scheme their opponent in the run game and kick ass up front. Two of the Gibbs touchdown runs are so well blocked. Vikings move to a 6-1 at the snap and the Lions are prepared. Add Gibbs speed and burst … touchdown!

Jahmyr Gibbs has recorded 70+ yards from scrimmage in every game this season.He is the first player in NFL history to do that in a 17-game season.

"The Lions are a symbol of so many things great about the NFL…”Colin Cowherd nails this take on Dan Campbell and the Lions.

Having followed the Lions since I was six, (that's when JFK was president), I understand far better than ever before the meaning of a phrase my dad used to tell me: "patience is a virtue." (I even thought that he made it up).
